Latter-day Saint Psychologist: When Trials Seem to Come at the Worst Times
By Dr. David T. Morgan
Many years ago, my wife and I were students, had a small family, and had little disposable income. We had one car that had a cracked windshield. The crack wasn’t substantial, but being somewhat of a perfectionist, it bothered me. The only long-term solution was to replace the windshield, which was not in the budget. I lived with the cracked windshield for a couple of years until finally we had saved enough money to replace it. The new windshield was perfect, and I was almost deliriously happy to be rid of that unsightly crack. About a week later I was driving on the freeway. As I passed a large truck, it kicked up a rock that landed squarely on my windshield. It left a large crack.

Sistas in Zion: How 2 Black Latter-day Saint Women Are Breaking Stereotypes
By Kelsey Berteaux
"People expect Latter-day Saints to be a lot of things: white, rich, serious. They picture who they’ve seen in the media like Mitt Romney,” says Zandra Vranes, although then she adds, “But I’m black, broke, and funny, and I’m a Latter-day Saint too.” She and her longtime friend Tamu Smith are known as the Sistas in Zion: two soul sisters whose faith and humor unites them. Their shared mission? To provide “a relief from sobriety where hilarity never faileth.”

Latter-day Saint Psychologist: 2 Ways to Find Hope during Times of Despair
By Dr. David T. Morgan
In Washington state, we are in our eighth week of our governor’s “stay at home” order to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Personally, I try to look forward to better times, but there is a lot of pessimism out there. I’ve stopped reading certain news outlets because it seems the only information it publishes is dire predictions and dismal forecasts. As a social scientist, I know that statistics can be adjusted to make almost anything appear factual, so it’s difficult to know which reports are accurate and which are exaggerations or half-truths. Sometimes it is hard for me to stay positive and endure well when negativity is often the prevailing sentiment; perhaps you have had a similar experience lately.

Role Models for Young Women Today
SPONSORED: Role Models for Young Women Today
By Lee Wynne
In an era of rapidly vanishing values, it is increasingly difficult to find righteous examples for the young women of today. Integrity, virtue, and good works seem to have lost their meaning within society, and our youth are pressured to follow a path leading far from truth and all that is righteous. For this reason, author-artist CaMary Wynne chose eight women from the past to represent the Young Women’s sacred values of Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity, and Virtue. Through Sister Wynne’s colorful allegorical paintings, Eliza R. Snow, Mary, Joan of Arc, Sacajawea, Eve, Florence Nightingale, Esther, and Ruth come forward in time with a message for the young women of today.
